DARE TO LOVE
Riley Taylor believes
herself immune to domineering men – until charismatic Ian Dare turns a simple
kiss into an all out assault on her senses and she discovers she likes his
brand of control in the bedroom. As their affair heats up, they soon realize
they complete each other in ways neither imagined. But Riley’s past is closer
than she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian’s dominance might just
cost her everything. (love story, contemporary romance, alpha heroes, beach
reads, sports heroes, bad boys, billionaire)

Excerpt:
Riley’s outburst popped the bubble of anger that had been
surrounding Ian all day. She stood at the elevator, pounding at the button in a
panic, and his anger, which should never have been directed at her, dissipated,
replaced by concern.
“Riley.”
She ignored him.
The elevator door opened, and Ian bolted forward, grabbing
her around the waist and yanking her back before she could step inside.
“Put me down!” She struggled, but he waited until the
elevator door slid shut to do as she asked.
She spun to face him, fury on her expressive face.
“What the hell was that all about?” he asked.
“You tell me! I came here to check on you, and you treated
me like persona non grata in front of your family.”
Yes, he had. He’d never been so angry or hurt, and it made
no sense. Why the hell did he care if his half siblings showed up or not when
he hadn’t wanted to invite them in the first place? He’d only done it to get
Riley’s address and phone number, and when she’d bailed too, he’d taken it as
her choosing Alex over him. Which clarified his blinding anger, to camouflage
the hurt.
But none of that explained why she’d suddenly
freaked—because that’s what she’d done. Yeah, he’d been an ass, but not enough
for her to react that way. He knew she wouldn’t budge until he gave in first.
“I’m sorry,” he said.
Her eyes opened wide.
He was just as shocked by the words that came out of his
mouth. Words he never used, because in his experience, they made him weak. With
this woman, it seemed there was nothing he wouldn’t do or say.
Needing space, he stalked over to the wet bar in the living
room and poured himself a drink. Pausing for a long sip as the liquor burned
down his throat, he studied her, seeing her for the first time tonight.
She wore a white, strappy dress that clung to her generous
curves, her curls falling over her shoulders and down her back. Now that he’d
regained his sanity, he wanted nothing more than to grab hold of all that
gorgeous hair, pull her hard against him, lose himself in her warm, wet body,
and forget that he’d allowed his half brother to get to him. Make her forget
that he’d treated her so badly, but that wouldn’t solve anything between them.
They’d both overreacted. He understood his own reactions, at
least when it came to her. He still didn’t understand hers, and the mystery of
Riley remained.
